The Mets beat the Rangers on Friday night to stop a season-high three-game losing streak.
— Eduardo Escobar hit a tiebreaking, three-run homer, expectant father David Peterson tied a career high with 10 strikeouts in six innings and thebeat the Texas Rangers 4-3 Friday night to stop a season-high three-game losing streak.
"Nobody cares more than Eduardo does, almost to a fault, and it's well documented what kind of a human being he is," manager Buck Showalter said."It felt like 25 other guys hit the home run with him. That's kind of how much guys kind of revel in whatever he does." With wife Alex expecting the couple's first child, Peterson allowed three runs and five hits, including solo homers to Marcus Semien and Nathaniel Lowe. The left-hander got his third career double-digit strikeout game, throwing first-pitch strikes to 17 of 22 hitters and did not walk a batter in consecutive starts for the first time in his career.
"It's been on my mind this week," Peterson said."I talked to her, and she's kind of given me the assurance that we're going to be able to get through tonight."
